An end connector (100) for connecting a tubular support structure (2) having at least one optic fiber (4) associated with a fiber optic cable, to a terminal (22) of an associated device (20). The connector (100) provides a housing (10) configured with a passageway (24) for passing the tubular support structure from a front end to a rear end. A clamping portion of the connector includes a flexible sleeve (14) and compression grommet (16) which are received and support by the housing and a compression nut (18) which couples to the rear end of the housing. As the compression nut (18) is tightened onto the rear end of the housing, the compression grommet (16) is compressed, and in turn the flexible sleeve (14) constricts to apply clamping pressure to the tubular support structure (2) holding the optic fibers. <IMAGE> |
